Powerful Movement-Building Program Celebrates the Life and Work of Dr. Vincent Harding

Vincent Harding was an historian by profession and a relentless nonviolent advocate for justice by calling. The author of a series of books on the civil rights movement — which he called the Southern Freedom movement — he not only wrote history, he confronted history, challenged history, and with many others, remade history.

Dr. Harding died this past May at the age of 83, handing on to the rest of us the task of continuing the titanic effort to transform the systemic violence and injustice in our world, and to help bring into being a multiracial, democratic and nonviolent society.

Pace e Bene/Campaign Nonviolence was a co-sponsor of this event. Vincent Harding was a dear friend of many of us and of Pace e Bene as an organization. We miss him dearly. You can read Ken Butigan’s remembrance of Dr. Harding here.
